Cancelled for 2020. Returning in 2021.

The Ozark Suzuki String Institute (OSSI) is set in beautiful Northwest Arkansas at John Brown University in the picturesque town of Siloam Springs. Institute runs from Sunday evening through Friday evening, with a family-centered experience that is unmatched. The Rising Artists program occurs over 7 days, Saturday morning through Friday evening, and Teacher Training offerings include courses in Violin and Cello, with a special Enrichment class taught by Parent Education expert Christine Goodner.

Daily Parent Talks, Recitals and all evening events are included in the cost of tuition, which is one of the lowest in the nation. Amenities include a State-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, newly renovated classrooms and dorms, and cafeteria-style dining with excellent menu options.

OSI has become one of the fastest-growing institutes in the country! Our emphasis on the Suzuki philosophy can be seen through our outstanding Suzuki faculty, family events which build our Suzuki community, opportunities to connect with students and teachers from all around the country, and our many offerings for teachers, parents, and students in a natural setting. The Creek at OSI is one of the top activities for families at the end of a busy day, so bring your swimsuit!
